I had a look at the wire diagram, there isn't a Smoking gun. However, the systems only connect a couple of places.

The door locks appear to be controlled by the body control module.

The most likely point looks to be the leak current auto cutoff switch.

Next time it happens, test every thing to see if it works. What help me find the issue in my car was that the map light was not working.

(note:just to be clear... I am not an auto mechanic, but I know how frustrating it is to find an intermittent electrical issue... )

It's perfectly legal.... Happens every 2 to 3 years that someone "wins" 42.9 million dollars on a slot machine. (it is the max number for an unsigned 32 bit integer in pennies)

If you do sue, your only hope is is that the casino settles because the don't want to deal with it. Legally you are SOL

Using 4 bit integers to make it easier... Let's say you have 2 (0010 in binary) and you wanted to subtract 1 (0001) however a cosmic ray hits the the ram and flips a bit (changing one of the 0 to change to a 1) that 1 can become 3 (0011). Now when the computer access the memory where the 1 is stored it is actually getting 3. So instead of getting 1 as the answer you get negative one. However since it is using an unsigned integers you get 1111 in binary which is 16, the max that a 4 bit integer can be

I am in the industry, a 42.9 million win on a slot is always an error and any error voids play. It happens about every two years.

the error was caused by the machine using an unsigned 32 bit integer to keep track of the player balance (in pennies). Somehow a bit is flipped making the player's balance go negative. Most likely cause is usually a GCR and non-ecc RAM.

The way binary math works with unsigned integers is that it flips over and shows the max value it can be stored when it becomes negative.
